Deryck Jayson Whibley was born to a 17-year-old Michelle Whibley on March 21st, 1980 in Scarborough, Canada. Deryck's biological father left before his birth,
but Michelle has since remarried. Deryck was in elementary school when his family packed up and moved to Ajax.

Deryck got his first guitar at the age of 14. This highlight in his creative life was quickly followed by a long slew of bands including Powerful Young Hustlers,
Eternal Death, Chemical Head, Door's of Draven, Keane's Unbeatable Teens, Kaspir and Final Notice. In 1994, Deryck met his soon-to-be best friend and bandmate,
Steve Jocz. In 1996, Sum 41 was formed by Deryck, Steve, and their first bassist, Richard Roy. Not long before Sum 41 was signed, Deryck successfully graduated
from Exeter High School.

Deryck's first big house was in Toronto, Canada, but he spent a great deal of 2003 either on tour or in LA with casual girlfriend, Paris Hilton. They broke up
in late 2003, and not long afterwards, Deryck began a relationship with the woman who would become his wife, Avril Lavigne. They married on July 15th, 2006 and
lived together in Los Angeles until their divorce in October 2009.
